Also have a look at the Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_messaging
Whoever actually started "texting" first doesn't really matter - there is no doubt it has had phenomenal effect on personal communications.
First text message sent 20 years ago today:
It was 20 years ago today that the first text message was sent by Canadian Neil Papworth and little did he know he would be changing the way we communicate. Papworth, a 22-year old software engineer, was seated at a computer terminal on December 3, 1992 in the Newbury office of Sema to test a new messaging system for the Vodafone network. His first message was sent to a company colleague in another building where Vodafone was celebrating its Christmas party.
